Michael Cooper Conservative
“A new budget report shows the government broke its promise to lower the deficit compared to the economy. The deficit is actually growing. Canadians cannot trust the government's money plan.”
“Mr. Speaker, today’s PBO report reveals that the Liberals will blow through a key fiscal anchor that they promised only months ago. The Liberals promised declining deficits to GDP. The PBO confirms the opposite: rising deficits to GDP. This is a complete indictment. The Liberals are failing to follow through on a central pillar of their budgetary policy. In the face of that, how can Canadians have any confidence in their so-called fiscal plan?”
